if not, how does it prevent that bit of pucker movement?

Don't have it yet but it seems to me the square hole is cut at an ever so slightly different angle than the original.

Pushes the kickstand forward a little
Yeah I hope it doesn't lean too much that way either.

being aware how it works, there have been times on concrete the stand foot didn't slide out the amount needed to for the tab to fully enter the slot.
a little rock or movement gets it slid out correctly
If someone wasn't aware of that, the tab wouldn't be locked in

that's my WAG how it dropped

Eyeballing the vid, it sure looks like the stand goes forward farther
The angle in the pic you posted confirms that.
However, that tab doesn't appear ay wider .

when you pull yours and see how it works, you understand what I mean there can still be movement on the stand

as far as leaning farther than preferred, there is this available from Bung King

And it's still going to have that loosey-goosey feel as it goes down and enters the slot.
I get that's what makes this lock into place.
I know I'm overthinking this.

If that won’t convince someone HD kickstands are top notch then nothing ever will.

It's easier to work on or wash the bike when it's upright.

I can get around the bike more easily in the shop when it's upright.

I can better pack bikes into a space when they are upright.

It's easier to pack up the bike with luggage when it's upright.

For those times ground slope makes the side stand difficult, the center stand often works.

I'm not saying everyone has to have, want or need a centerstand. Just that I've found it advantageous at times to have one at my disposal.
